Prayer Palanca

Please, as you are led, commit to praying for the Candidates and Team, Spiritual Directors and Cooks for the upcoming LVCCM Summer Weekends.

LVCCM Men's #82 is July 31 - August 3 and Women's #82 is August 14 - 17, and you can sign up to pray in half hour blocks of time at http://www.3dayol.org/Vigil/GetComm.phtml. Scroll through the list and you may even see other Weekends you could pray for - ours are listed alphabetically as Lutheran Via de Cristo of Central Michigan...

My goal by Weekends #84 is to have every slot filled with Pray-ers, and to print out a huge banner that we can put in the Rollo room to show the Candidates as another example of community palanca.

Father, prepare the hearts of the Candidates for these upcoming weekends, that they may soak up Your message to them. Bless each team member with strength and endurance, and be with the families of those gone for the weekend. Thank You for Your love, thank You for Your amazing grace. Lord in Your mercy, hear our prayer.

THIS SUNDAY: December 17th; Third Sunday in Advent

A man named John was sent from God.He came for testimony, to testify to the light,so that all might believe through him.He was not the light,but came to testify to the light.

And this is the testimony of John.When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priestsand Levites to himto ask him, "Who are you?"He admitted and did not deny it,but admitted, "I am not the Christ."So they asked him,"What are you then? Are you Elijah?"And he said, "I am not.""Are you the Prophet?"He answered, "No."So they said to him,"Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us?What do you have to say for yourself?"He said:"I am the voice of one crying out in the desert,'make straight the way of the Lord,'"as Isaiah the prophet said."Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him,"Why then do you baptizeif you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?"John answered them,"I baptize with water;but there is one among you whom you do not recognize,the one who is coming after me,whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie."This happened in Bethany across the Jordan,where John was baptizing.
